Re Tax setting and payment information Contributor: Ochanoko/Kawakata / Date: 19 July 2011 / Time: 16:56 (JST/UTC+9) / Post #185 URL

Hi, mayumi!

1) We checked your setting and found no tax is registered.
Kindly set tax rates in [Basic Settings] > [Tax Rates] to calculate the total amount based on it.


2) The status of "PayPal non check" in the order list means that we have not received payment confirmation from PayPal.
Please see the actual status in the PayPal My Account page.

3) Invoice ID in the Order Details page is a unique id that was assigned when the transaction is transmitted to PayPal.
